Kyle Kurzet

I’m Dr. Kyle Kurzet. My medical practice is an extension of my core values, my passion, and my desire to give back and support the community.

I am here to listen and advocate on your behalf. At Transition Health, you and I will work together toward attaining your individual peak sustainable level of holistic wellness.

I enjoy working with patients of all ages, researching topics in depth as questions come in from patients, and personalizing my medical advice for each individual.

At any age, wellness is about movement and independence. I enjoy helping my patients prevent disease, retain mental agility, and succeed in their favorite activities. I aim for root causes, for cures rather than temporary measures. Whether a patient is working to restore strength after an injury, recover from an illness, or reaching for a new level of fitness, I delight in sharing the satisfaction of each health goal reached.

Being a doctor involves both learning and teaching, and requires balancing the science and art of medicine while focusing on each individual patient. I value the opportunity to hear about what matters to you during our visits and to be your guide and advocate as you make decisions about your and your family’s health. I believe in the benefits of comprehensive, evidence-based, patient-focused medical care, including using complementary methods to allow you to heal naturally.

If I’m not pursuing my professional interests in preventive, evidence-based, patient-focused, athletic, LGBTQI2+, palliative, and wilderness medicine, you’ll find me running, reading voraciously, backpacking, trying new foods, or hiking with my family. I was born and raised in Portland and am rejuvenated by the vibrancy of our Pacific Northwest home.
